script out of range error vba - vba

Question

I have two worksheets in the same workbook where they have different # of columns containing policy information and I would like to use vba to save multiple workbooks based on a certain column (state) since trying to save 50 times manually isn't the most efficient way.
State in sheet1 is column E & in sheet2 is column F. Now sheet1 & sheet2 have different ranges & columns so last row may need to be defined separately.
I found some codes online but wasn't able to make it work. My issues now is how to incorporate sheet2 and secondly make it work. The codes I have now have script out of range error in line Windows(state).Activate
Sub ExtractToNewWorkbook()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wsNew As Workbook
Dim rData As Range
Dim rfl As Range
Dim state As String
Dim sfilename As String
Dim LR1 As Long
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
LR1 = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
'Apply advance filter in your sheet
With ws
Set rData = Range("A1", "E" & LR1)
.Columns(.Columns.Count).Clear
.Range(.Cells(2, 5), .Cells(.Rows.Count, 5).End(xlUp)).AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=.Cells(1, .Columns.Count), Unique:=True
For Each rfl In .Range(.Cells(1, .Columns.Count), .Cells(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count).End(xlUp))
state = rfl.Text
Set wsNew = Workbooks.Add
sfilename = state & ".xlsx"
'Set the Location
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FilePath & sfilename
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ws.Activate
rData.AutoFilter Field:=5, Criteria1:=state
rData.Copy
Windows(state).Activate
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True
Next rfl
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End With
ws.Columns(Columns.Count).ClearContents
rData.AutoFilter
End Sub

You should avoid ActiveWorkbook and .Activate (also see: How to avoid using Select in Excel VBA). Instead access the workbook wsNew directly:
Set wsNew = Workbooks.Add
sfilename = state & ".xlsx"
'Set the Location
wsNew.SaveAs FilePath & sfilename
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
rData.AutoFilter Field:=5, Criteria1:=state
rData.Copy
wsNew.Worksheets(1).Paste
wsNew.Close SaveChanges:=True
Note that in Set rData = Range("A1", "E" & LR1) you missed a . before the range to make it use the with statement: Set rData = .Range("A1", "E" & LR1)
Note that you should consider to rename wsNew into wbNew in your entire procedure because you set a workbook with Set wsNew = Workbooks.Add and not a worksheet.
